Outerknown Saltwater Slub Tee
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
A Year-Round Wardrobe Essential
The Outerknown Saltwater Slub Tee is the women's version of Outerknown's iconic slub jersey, and it earns its place as a closet staple the moment you put it on. The fine slub jersey knit creates a naturally airy, textured hand-feel that softens even more with every wash, delivering a perfectly worn-in look without the wait. Wear it solo on warm days or layer it as an ultra-soft base when temperatures drop. Either way, it works.
Regenerative Organic Certified Cotton
Every Saltwater Slub Tee is made from Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC) cotton, the highest standard in organic agriculture. ROC certification goes beyond conventional organic requirements by addressing three pillars: soil health and land management, animal welfare, and farmer and worker well-being. That means the cotton in this tee was grown using practices that actively rebuild soil biology rather than simply avoiding synthetic inputs. The result for the wearer is superior softness and breathability rooted in a traceable supply chain.
Construction and Fit
Outerknown cut this tee with an oversized silhouette and slightly dropped shoulders for a relaxed, easy drape that flatters without trying. The ribbed crew neckline holds its shape wash after wash, and a double-needle stitch hem adds durability at the base without adding bulk. The slub jersey itself is lightweight and has just the right amount of sheerness for warm-weather wear, making it ideal for beach days, post-surf hangs, and everyday South Florida living.
Why Outerknown Clothing
Outerknown was founded with the premise that clothing should be made well, last long, and leave a lighter footprint. The Saltwater Slub line is one of the brand's signature expressions of that idea: a simple garment executed with exceptional materials and responsible sourcing. Island Water Sports carries Outerknown because the brand's values match the South Florida water-sports lifestyle, and because the quality is genuinely backed by the fabric and certifications, not just the marketing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Regenerative Organic Certified cotton?
- Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) is the highest tier of organic certification available. It covers soil health and land management, animal welfare, and fair treatment of farmers and workers. Cotton grown under ROC standards actively rebuilds soil biology rather than just avoiding synthetic chemicals, resulting in a more sustainable and traceable fiber.

- Yes. The lightweight slub jersey knit has just the right amount of sheerness and drape to work as a soft base layer when temperatures drop, in addition to wearing well on its own during warm weather.

- The tee is designed with an oversized silhouette and slightly dropped shoulders for a relaxed, laid-back feel. Use the variant picker to select your size and refer to Outerknown's general size guidance if you are between sizes.
- How do I care for the Saltwater Slub Tee?
- Care instructions are printed on the garment's interior label. As a general rule for slub jersey cotton, machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low to preserve the fabric's texture and ROC cotton integrity.

- What makes Outerknown clothing different from other surf brands?
- Outerknown was built around transparency and certified sustainable materials from the start. The Saltwater Slub line uses Regenerative Organic Certified cotton, which is a step above standard organic cotton in both environmental and social standards. The brand publishes its supply chain and holds third-party certifications rather than self-reported sustainability claims.
- Does the Outerknown Saltwater Slub Tee get softer with washing?
- Yes. The fine slub jersey knit is designed to soften with every wash, developing a naturally broken-in feel over time without losing its structure at the ribbed collar or hem.
